Rice Cooker Chicken with Shiitake and Chinese Sausage

While the chicken marinates, slice the Chinese sausages into thin rounds and cut the ginger into thin slices.

After marinating, add the sliced Chinese sausage to the chicken and mushroom mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Rinse the rice several times until the water runs mostly clear. Drain well, then add the rice and water to the rice cooker pot.

Spread the chicken, mushrooms, and sausage evenly over the rice without stirring them into the grains. Lay the ginger slices on top, close the lid, and start the rice cooker.

Cook until the rice cooker switches off, about 30 minutes depending on the model. Let the rice rest, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes before opening the lid. Check that the chicken is fully cooked.

Fluff and mix everything together for a seasoned chicken rice, or lift the toppings off and serve them over the rice. Pair with steamed or stir-fried vegetables.
